She has so far maintained a pretty dignified silence regarding her ex husband’s transition.

But Kris Jenner couldn’t help but break down in tears when her daughter Kim brought round various items of Bruce’s clothing for her to go through during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which aired last night.

The momager is seen going through his old clothes – which of course Caitlyn no longer has any use for – alongside Kim.

As Kim holds up various items, Kris starts to cry as they clearly bring back lots of memories for her.

She comments that some of the designer suits smell like him as she recalls when the various things were purchased.

“I think going through something like this is difficult because the whole thing is something I've never dealt with before,” she says.

"I realise that I still have a long way to go before I can process all of this and understand it. Seeing these clothes and realising that Bruce has thrown them out makes it real."

It was an emotional time for her (Image: E!)

Kim tells her upset mum: “I thought Kendall, Kylie and each of the kids could take whichever polo shirt reminded us of him.”

As the pair embrace Kris tells her: “It’s just crazy that he’s gone.”

Kris and Bruce announced their split in October 2013 but it wasn’t until June 2015 that Bruce revealed her new name and image – Caitlyn.

Caitlyn’s interview in Vanity Fair caused fractures in her relationship with Kris after she slammed the matriarch for her treatment of her when she was Bruce.
